A lot of the tax revenue that would have gone into the existing government programs were lost with the Great Recession. Couple that with the unfunded wars, and tax breakers for everyone but especially the rich instituted by "W", you have the real reason for the 10 trillion increase in national debt.
The 10 trillion did occur in the Obama's years, but placing the blame on him for it shows you have no common sense. None! Hatred surpasses reality in your world. The blame game only applies when it comes to Obama. The Republican aren't responsible for anything. Everything they do is correct, and anyone that can't see this is a moron.

You didn't ask me, but I will submit some of the answer to your rant.
ARRA
Economic Stimulus package
Obamacare
Bail outs
Solar energy failures
Extended unemployment
Increased foodstamp distribution, a historical record
"Also, Obama increased military spending to around $800 billion a year on average. In fact, his security budget request of $895 billion in FY 2011 set a new record. Even though troops were withdrawn from Iraq in 2012, and Osama bin Laden was eliminated in 2011, Obama requested $851 billion in his FY 2013 budget. Although Obama abandoned the phrase "War on Terror," he spent $857 billion on it in Contingency funds. That's more than the $850 billion Bush spent." -http://www.about.com/money/
Just a few off the top of the head, but I am sure that you could Google more, if you are REALLY looking for an answer.
Of course, you will blame it all on Bush and the Republicans. That is to be expected, since liberals have never accepted responsibility for anything.
"The Great Recession?" What a joke. This president has presided over the longest rebound in the economy of ANY other president that has dealt with a recession or a depression in history. And the funny thing is that Republicans have refused to be accessory to his bad moves and they are the one being blamed. This is the ONLY president in history that has not had a GDP growth rate of 3% or more. This president has been a failure because he has refused to listen more experienced advice, and dividing our country to the extreme. Democrats made the mistake of choosing a racially divisive radical to represent them, and they have decided to compound the damage by choosing another, equally bad candidate to further destroy our country. What a shame that they are so bitter and needy, that they insist on a gov nanny to direct their lives.
